At the entrance to the operation theatre. The red indicator light was still shining brightly. The smell of disinfectant kept everyone alert, intent on learning what had happened.Nina paced anxiously in front of the door. Occasionally, she would crouch to peek through the gap under the door. However, there was nothing that she could see. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and her lips never stopped chanting, “She’ll be okay, she’ll be okay.”Daniel sat quietly on a bench in the corridor, his eyes flitting towards the operation theatre from time to time. Nicole and Chloe sat next to him, one on the left and the other on his right.“Danny, Anna will be alright. There’s no need to worry.” Nicole gently patted Daniel’s shoulder as she consoled him.Daniel nodded but did not speak. He wore a grim expression and frowned deeply.Nicole wiped away the tears in her eyes. “We asked Anna to come home so that we could have dinner as a family. It’s been such a long time since we’ve
“Doctor! How is my friend doing now!?”Nina’s face was full of anxiety. Her voice wavered from excessive worry.“Hurry up and tell us!” Liam growled gruffly. His menacing appearance made everyone’s heart stop.“The patient suffered a burn to her lens. However, we were able to repair it in time. The operation was a success but we will need to monitor her as she recovers.”“Okay. How did she end up with a burn to her lens?” asked Nina. That was exactly the question on Liam’s mind.“The patient’s eye came into contact with an irritant substance. She just had LASIK surgery done not too long ago and her recovery was a little poor. Couple that with the substance, her eyes were severely damaged as a result.”“Irritant substance? How could that be? She was talking to me over the phone before she was injured. She was perfectly fine!” shouted Nina.“After our lab analysis, we have determined it to be alcohol.”“Alcohol!?” Everyone was shocked.“In fact, it was highly concentrated alcoho
Chloe’s knees nearly buckled when she was suddenly questioned by Liam. His cold expression was extremely terrifying and there was a lingering chill around him. It was like he came straight from the depths of hell, carrying the smell of death with him.Chloe stifled her breath. She stammered in a wavering voice.“I-I… I was in my room. I-I… don’t know anything.” Chloe frantically waved her hands.Liam’s inky-black pupils constricted. He easily saw through the guilt in Chloe’s heart. “If you were in your room, how did you know that Miss Anna was in her room the whole time?” “That’s because… I-I… I saw Anna head into her room. I then went back to my room...I think that she was in her room the whole time…”“In other words, you didn’t see for yourself if she was in her room the whole time?”Chloe rushed to nod. “I-I.. didn’t see her!”“Were you and Miss Anna the only ones in the house?”“There… there were also servants at home! It wasn't just the two of us… Mr. Ackman. I-I… I’m
No one knew what Liam was planning to do! Did he think that everyone’s heart was too healthy? Did he want to send everyone to the hospital due to a heart attack?Liam returned to sit on the sofa. He did not say a word, his expression icy.Everyone started to feel uncomfortable once again. They exchanged looks in silence.At that moment, a doctor entered intending to speak to the patient’s family.“This is the situation. The patient’s situation is a little unique because her eyes are injured. Her care must be provided by one of the specialized nurses appointed by our hospital. Her diet will also need to be provided by our specialized dietitian. I hope that we will have your full cooperation.”Nicole looked at Daniel, “Does this mean that the family will not need to be involved with her food and care?”“Yes, that’s right!” answered the doctor.Nicole was overjoyed. “As long as the hospital takes good care of Anna.”Bryan was about to sit by Anna’s side and show her some affection
An icy cold sensation spread across Liam’s heart. His heart lurched and he let out a soft sigh.“If you want a speedy recovery, don’t you cry.”Anna rushed to hold back her tears. She bit her lower lips hard and turned deathly pale.When he saw her aggrieved expression as she tried to suppress her feelings, Liam felt even more heartbroken. “Why would you lose your sight? Of course, you’ll be able to see.” He gently stroked her long hair.“Is that true? Will I really be able to see again? I won’t lose my sight, right?” She lifted her head and looked in his direction. However, there was still only darkness“I’m so scared. I’m so scared that my eyes won’t get better,” she sobbed.“Yes. It won’t get better in your lifetime. You’ll just have to stay by my side.”Anna suddenly let go of his hand. He snapped angrily, “Stop moving! Your hand is still bleeding!” He caught her hand once again and applied pressure to the needle exit wound on the back of her hand.As she struggled forcef
Since Anna lay motionless on her hospital bed, Chloe was fearless. Chloe did not care whether Anna was truly asleep or awake. To Chloe, the world should learn about her relationship with Bryan. That way, she could be with Bryan out in the open!Chloe looked at Bryan piteously, “Bryan, I really love you…”Bryan could not hold himself back any longer. He kept his voice as low as humanely possibly, “I want to be with you too, but now is not the time.”“When will it be the right time? I can’t be with you in this unclear, undefined manner forever! Besides, you’re not truly in love with my sister. I’m also a daughter of the Hamilton family. Marry me and my father will also treat you well.”Bryan smiled coldly inside. Even though Chloe had the surname Hamiton, no one knew what her real surname was!Anna who was lying in bed was the true Miss Hamilton, the heir of the Lincoln Group.What was Chloe compared to her!?However, Bryan still maintained a loving expression on his face, “Chloe,
“Anna, you’re awake!”Bryan hurried to straighten his clothes and fastened his belt. He rushed over to Anna’s bedside. He was thanking God in his heart that Anna could not see right now, otherwise, he would be dead meat!Chloe was so mad that she stamped her feet. Why was she always the one who was discarded when Anna was around!?“Anna, now that you’re awake, do you feel any better?” Bryan asked her in a warm, tender tone. Anna resisted the urge to vomit but continued not to give a response. She crashed into bed and went back to sleep.Bryan’s expression froze on his face.Chloe bit her lip angrily. “Bryan! I told you that she was asleep! What are you scared of!?”Bryan stared questioningly at Anna on the bed. The suspicions in his heart grew. Was Anna truly asleep?“Bryan, let’s continue. How about that…” Chloe continued to wrap herself around him. Bryan pushed her off impatiently. “That’s enough! Stop making a fuss!”Now that they had been interrupted in that activity ag
Chloe glared at Nina angrily and yelled, “Nina Scott! What do you mean by that? I’m here to see my sister. What does this have to do with you?!”Chloe then snickered and crossed her arms, “I’ve heard that you’re on different teams with my sister in this latest internship. Maybe you’re planning to harm my sister while she’s hurt so that she won’t be able to do well. That way, she won’t be able to compete for first place against you!”“Chloe Hamilton! I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you! I’ll be d*mned if I’d harm Anna!”“Nina! Watch your words!”“Hurry up and leave! The door is right there, I won’t see you out. Leave and stop hurting our eyes with your presence!” Nina pointed towards the door.Chloe was so angry that she puffed up her chest. “That’s is my sister. I’m a member of her family. You have no right as an outsider to order me about! The person who should leave is you! Hurry up and get out of here!”Chloe was furious. Were not for Nina, she would have succeeded!Ann
